TSh15,826) which is approximate to $7. The basic subscription plan allows the user to access it only on a single screen per time. This plan comes as an advantage to users who are single users of their account and do not share their subscription with any other person.
Also, the resolution is limited to SD – Standard Resolution. While this might not offer the same viewing experience as the HD, it is still largely appreciable and to a standard, offers a fair view experience. Considering the cost though, users wouldn’t have so much to complain about.

Unlike the basic subscription plan, the standard subscription plan allows users to watch on more than one screen. The plan costs approximate $8.66 (approx. TSh19,646) per month. Another advantage this subscription plan has over the basic plan is that it supports High Definition (HD), which means you can take your viewing experience to another level.

Also, the premium subscription plan supports both HD and 4K Ultra HD views.
